Thanks! Though actually, the PanoGraph does not include a countdown function.
The PanoGraph is a separate model, which followed the PanoRetroGraph and housed the simplified caliber 61, with no countdown mechanism and no acoustic signal. The PanoGraph, of course, remains in serial production as part of the current GO collection. Still a great watch, but not the unique phenomenon that the PanoRetroGraph was.
And now for something completely different...

Interesting that they haven't, at least that I can find.
I'm not sure why they haven't gone in that direction, but generally speaking, they've done very little by way of sonnerie.
Great. Full of details.
I don't realize before that the PanoGraph has a counter down function. Thank you for your write up, now I know.

Oh, I typed the wrong model name, should have been the PanoRetroGraph. My apology.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Apologies!
I've actually seen the one mistaken for the other in secondary market sale listings, so I imagine some confusion is common. I would hate to see somebody buying a PanoGraph as expecting the additional complication.
Thanks for this very comprehensive review of one of the most exciting watches from the era 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Have always been a fan and while a latter reedition in RG brought the case and dial aesthetics into the more contemporary sphere, the fact that it was only available in colored gold I felt a bit of a downside. The idea of the countdown timer was certainly...
Agreed.
I've only seen the rose gold models in illustrations, with both light and dark dial treatments, but neither looks terribly convincing to me. It's also not clear to me how many rose gold editions were made, and over what period.
A supreme masterpiece from GO.
Still the best big date on the market. I much prefer such innovative pieces to the simple 3-hands watches we see today that mainly focus on finishing.
Yeah, the Panorama Date is a terrific big date solution.
The next best thing I'm aware of is from Girard-Perregaux, where they have the large date in a single window, with one digit on a transparent sapphire wheel.
Thanks so much!
It certainly is a one-off creation. (Or should I say, a 50 + 150 creation?)
Erratum: I'd meant to include a link to Watch Commission's excellent 2025 post in the body above.

Great write up and post, thanks for taking the time,
it is really interesting & filled with details I didn’t know about a watch I knew and loved.
